Arlene Marion Pierce

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Arlene Marion Pierce, a beloved sister, wife, mother, aunt and grandmother.  Arlene peacefully departed this world on July 22, 2023, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on December 23, 1946 in Pleasant Hill, LA, Arlene was the epitome of kindness, love and generosity.  She lived a life devoted to her family and brightened the lives of all who knew her. Arlene's warmth and compassion extended far beyond the walls of her home, touching the lives of countless friends and acquaintances who were fortunate enough to cross paths with her.

Arlene's heart was captured by her beloved spouse, Paul, whom she shared 56 wonderful years of marriage with. Together, they built a strong and enduring bond, exemplifying the true meaning of love and partnership. Their love was an inspiration to everyone around them and a testament to the power of commitment and devotion.

As an excellent homemaker, Arlene's nurturing spirit was evident in the welcoming environment she created for her family. Her home was a place of laughter and comfort.  She poured her heart and soul into preparing meals that brought joy and contentment to all who sat at her table.
